A 10-year study of Alternaria and Cladosporium in two Polish cities (Szczecin and Cracow) and relationship with the meteorological parameters
Abstract Alternaria and Cladosporium spores belong to the most frequent and allergenic particles in bioaerosol in the temperate climate. The investigation of Alternaria and Cladosporium spore concentrations was performed in two cities in Poland, Szczecin and Cracow, in 2004–2013. The meteorological parameters taken to assess their impact on fungal spores were average, maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity and average wind velocity. In order to reveal whether changes in dynamics of spore seasons are driven by meteorological conditions, ordination methods were applied. Canonical corresp...

Forecasting of the selected features of Poaceae (R. Br.) Barnh., Artemisia L. and Ambrosia L. pollen season in Szczecin, north-western Poland, using Gumbel's distribution.
CONCLUSIONS: Short pollen seasons are characterised by a higher intensity of pollination than long ones. Prediction of the maximum pollen count values, dates of the pollen season beginning, and the number of days with pollen count above the threshold, on the basis of Gumbel's distribution, is expected to lead to improvement in the prophylaxis and therapy of persons allergic to pollen.

Seasonal variation of iGanoderma/i spore concentrations in urban and suburban districts of the city of Szczecin, Poland.
This study indicates that a single measuring site in the city centre insufficiently reflected the dynamics and level of Ganoderma spore concentration in peripheral districts. PMID: 25780819 [PubMed - in process]

Environmental benefits from geothermal energy use with a well doublet located in the Szczecin Trough (NW Poland)
AbstractThe article presents environmental aspects related to the use of geothermal waters of the Lower Jurassic in the area of the Szczecin Trough. The research area located in the north-western part of the country has been successfully using underground waters of the Lower Jurassic since the 1990s to generate thermal energy at two geothermal heating plants located in Pyrzyce and Stargard. In the case of the area in question, it was proposed a hypothetical geothermal doublet located in the vicinity of the city of Choszczno, for which numerical simulations were carried out for different variants of the locations of the wel...

Recognition of a linear source contamination based on a mixed-integer stacked chaos gate recurrent unit neural network-hybrid sparrow search algorithm
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Jan 14. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-18538-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGroundwater contamination source recognition involves the recovery of contamination source time series release histories from observation data. In the present study, a linear source contamination recognition task was addressed. When using a simulation-optimization inverse framework to solve the recognition task, high calculated expense and high dimensional search space always hinder the task efficiency. Moreover, traditional surrogate methods face obstacle of handling with time-sequence data. Therefore, a novel stacked c...

An interval-valued carbon price forecasting method based on web search data and social media sentiment
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Aug 10. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29028-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccurate carbon price prediction is a crucial task for the carbon trading market. Previous studies have ignored the impact of online data and are limited to point predictions, which brings challenges to the accurate forecasting of carbon prices. To address those issues, this paper proposes an interval-valued carbon price forecasting method based on web search data and social media sentiment. First, we collect web search data and social media sentiment to improve prediction performance by synthesizing multiple types of da...

A validated search filter for the identification of endocrine disruptors based on the ECHA/EFSA guidance recommendations.
In this study, a search filter for targeted literature search in context of assessing if a substance can be identified as an ED relevant for human health was developed and validated. Development of the search filter was based on the search strategy presented in the ECHA/EFSA guidance and using the estrogenic chemical Bisphenol AF (BPAF) as a model substance. Information specialists from two independent institutions developed refined search filters based on the suggested original search strategy published (ECHA/EFSA guidance - Appendix F). Articles identified by a systematic literature search for BPAF were screened for rele...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 2771: Interest in Sexually Transmitted Infections: Analysis of Web Search Data Terms in Eleven Large German Cities from 2015 to 2019
ann Zink Incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis has increased in recent years in the US and in European countries. In order to implement effective educational programs, the interests of target populations have to be identified. Since the internet is an important source of information-gathering on health issues, this study investigates web search data in large German cities related to STIs. Google Ads Keyword Planner was used to identify STI-related terms and their search volume in eleven German cities from June 2015 to May 2019. The data obtained were analyzed ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 5614: Divisive Faultlines and Knowledge Search in Technological Innovation Network: An Empirical Study of Global Biopharmaceutical Firms
Yang Yang Divisive faultlines caused by the uneven distribution of relationship strength play an essential role in knowledge search in the technological innovation network, which serves as an important requirement for the technological innovation network’s macro level to expand to the meso-subgroup level and promote its healthy development. Given that the biopharmaceutical industry, as a high-tech industry, plays a vital role in promoting healthy development, this paper uses the joint patent applications of global biopharmaceutical firms from 2003 to 2018 as a sample to construct a technological innovation network, t...

Google search patterns monitoring the daily health impact of heatwaves in England: How do the findings compare to established syndromic surveillance systems from 2013 to 2017?
Abstract One of the implications of climate change is a predicted increase in frequent and severe heatwaves. The impact of heatwaves on the health of the population is captured through real-time syndromic healthcare surveillance systems monitored daily in England during the summer months. Internet search data could potentially provide improved timeliness and help to assess the wider population health impact of heat by capturing a population sub-group who are symptomatic but do not seek healthcare. A retrospective observational study was carried out from June 2013 to September 2017 in England to compare daily trend...

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 3201: The Validity of Google Trends Search Volumes for Behavioral Forecasting of National Suicide Rates in Ireland
ann Jim Duggan Annual suicide figures are critical in identifying trends and guiding research, yet challenges arising from significant lags in reporting can delay and complicate real-time interventions. In this paper, we utilized Google Trends search volumes for behavioral forecasting of national suicide rates in Ireland between 2004 and 2015. Official suicide rates are recorded by the Central Statistics Office in Ireland. While similar investigations using Google trends data have been carried out in other jurisdictions (e.g., United Kingdom, United Stated of America), such research had not yet been completed in Irel...
